A CLOSER LOOK
How to recognize it
A lobed organ connected to the airway. In filled-lung preparation it is washed pale and receives settled starch slurry through the trachea into its lobes.
In the kitchen
Sheep lung is used for mianfeizi, the filled-lung component served with rice-stuffed intestine in Urumqi.
The washed and filled lung is boiled until soft and sliced. This process gives it a pale appearance; the rice-filled intestine served separately is a different organ.
